The paper introduces Connected Self Forcing, a training framework that reconnects gradient paths across autoregressive video chunks to improve long‑horizon visual quality and temporal consistency. It allows feedback from later predictions to influence earlier context generation, using shortcut gradient replay to keep memory usage manageable. The method is combined with distribution‑matching distillation and shows experimental gains without altering the inference procedure.

Autoregressive video diffusion models provide a natural formulation for streaming and variable-length video generation by conditioning newly generated frames on previously generated content. However, extending these models to minute-level generation remains challenging: the limited KV-cache budget prevents the model from retaining the full history, while repeatedly conditioning on self-generated frames induces a context distribution shift that accumulates over time, leading to visual artifacts, quality degradation, and temporal drift.

The paper introduces Relax Forcing, a training‑free memory mechanism for autoregressive video diffusion that structures temporal context into Sink, Tail, and History frames. By selecting History frames with a relaxation criterion, the method reduces error accumulation and attention overhead while preserving motion dynamics. Experiments on VBench‑Long demonstrate that this structured memory improves long‑video generation quality over existing baselines.
We propose OPSD-V, an on-policy self-distillation paradigm for post-training few-step autoregressive (AR) video diffusion models. Existing few-step AR video generators can produce long videos with low latency, but still suffer from error accumulation and weakened motion dynamics during long autoregressive rollout.

ViRDM is a new post‑training method for few‑step causal video generation that eliminates the need for a large teacher model and an online critic. By applying representation distribution matching (RDM) with a precomputed target distribution, a lightweight VAE decoder, and staged vector–Jacobian products, ViRDM overcomes memory, optimization, and temporal dynamics challenges. The approach reduces GPU memory usage and training time, achieving state‑of‑the‑art VBench performance with only 20 generator updates and 16 A100 GPU‑hours.

In-Distribution Forcing for Long Video Generation at Test Time introduces a test‑time framework that aligns KV caching and conditioning with training configurations to prevent out‑of‑distribution key‑value entries during long‑horizon video generation. The core technique, self‑caching, ensures each chunk is cached without attending to prior KV entries, keeping the rolling window exactly in‑distribution. This approach extends short‑horizon autoregressive video diffusion models to minute‑scale generation, outperforming prior methods in mitigating drifting as shown by drift metrics and a user study.
LiveVVT introduces a rolling streaming diffusion framework for video virtual try‑on that maintains high visual fidelity while enabling real‑time performance. By confining bidirectional spatio‑temporal modeling to a fixed‑size window and using bounded temporal and global appearance memories, it emits clean video chunks with low latency. A progressive distillation pipeline further refines the model, achieving superior quality with 26× lower latency and 11× higher throughput compared to prior methods.
